I’m still trying to understand how the Avs drafted 4th in 2017 and are now a playoff team 2 years in a row???

At some point maybe someone can tell Keith he doesn't even get to play on PP#2. It's not his fault his stick broke but he's not supposed to be the first option to shoot ... ever ... but especially on the PP. Every team in the league breathes a sigh of relief when he winds up because they'd rather have him shoot than anyone else who happens to be out there ... and yet ... Keith ends up taking the shot more times than not.

Because Bettman has it in for the Hawks, and wants anyone not named the hawks to do well. Thats the only logical answer

Plus going to be a playoff team, lose 1st round, so draft 1-4 and 17th.

Kings will also draft top 3 and get a nice 16-19 pick when Toronto gets swept by Boston.

Kings still have a whole bunch of crappy contracts.

Can’t teach Cat’s scoring ability. And yeah, but the Avs are looking primed for a decade of contention.

And ... Keith with the shot on the PP. Maddening.

It wasn’t that long ago people were raving about the Kings’ contract situation because of how few MTC/NMCs they have.

It definitely looks good for the Avs, but it’s not a guarantee yet. At one point we all thought the Oilers would be serious contenders.

I didn’t go to any DU games this year. Only watched 4/5 DU games this year (both this weekend). He’s poised, not small, good skater, good hands/passing. He looks like an NHLer, just not next season. But DU has seemingly rolled 3 d-pairs both games so he hasn’t been getting the usual top pair double shifting like Makar for UMass. Gotta say, I’m pretty excited to watch the Avs next season with the additions of Makar and possibly Hughes.

Just a pure guess, but I think Mitchell signs after his season is done and spends next season in Rockford.

His season won't end until after the Hawks do.

Kings are a bunch of bumholes.

Hope Caguillas agent reminds him to enroll in the companies dental plan this next open enrollment.

Based upon?

Hart Trophy level player in Mackinnon is 23 years old

PPG Rantanen is 21

Landeskog in his prime, Barrie, Zadorov, Johnson, Makar, Girard are a very respectable D-Core.

Add a #1 pick and that’s a playoff contenting Core to build around for a long time

Agree with that, but their blue line is similar to ours.

I'm pretty sure Foley basically insinuating ,Hawks are a bunch of pu says when it comes to the last couple of plays. Anybody that plays hockey knows what's the norm.
I'm sure Colliton will have a say this summer about some of the lack of balls on this team thanks to Bowman.

Rumor has it, you will have to be "jumped in" to make the team.

Heard that from Paul

Kings aren't having a good season but that's how certain parts of the game are played.

Cole Makar is a #1, Johnson and Zadorov are 4D quality, Barrie is solid. Girard has great potential.
